Myself and another videographer do volunteer work for a non profit, the Peachtree Road Farmers Market, in Atlanta. each Saturday we video the top chef's in Atlanta as they do live chef demos then post them online for the market. We do a two HD camera shoot and edit, probably the only two camera chef demo at a market in America. To open the new season we had a communication mix-up and the second camera man thought the demo was cancelled so he didn't make it...and he had all the sound equipment! My shotgun mic wasn't going to reach through the crowd so, at the last second I had a "Macgyver moment" and threw my Nokia 920 down as a recorder. I couldn't believe the quality of sound we got considering the crowd noise and the fact it was a phone, not a professional mic. We cleaned it up a bit in post and the Nokia saved the shoot. Here's a shot of me setting the phone down propped up on a paper cup and the Vimeo link for all you foodies and video pros that may need their own "Macgyver moment":
This certainly speaks "volumes" (pun intended) about the quality of the Nokia 920. Microsoft and Nokia just may want to use this incident in a commercial! You certainly won't get this out of an iPhone.
And a tip of the hat to Nokia!
